Greyhound Tattoo by rachelhogue on Flickr.

My first tattoo! I can’t believe I actually did it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and I finally pulled the trigger yesterday. :D
Ever since I learned about it, I’ve had a mild obsession with the greyhound’s double suspension gallop. Twice in one stride they are completely suspended in air. I took a photo of Dazzle in a front flight phase (left) and Echo in a rear flight phase (right) and used them for the basis of the tattoo.
I was rather picky about the design, and the artist was very patient with me. She used dark brown ink. It hurt, but it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. We were done in about half an hour.
Echo died back in January. It feels like I have her back again. :)
